A New Way of Expressing Gratitude in Thai Society

2024-11-18T15:16:21+07:00

This Research Article the following objectives: (1) To study the expression of gratitude in Buddhist scriptures, (2) To study the old way of expressing gratitude of Thai society, and (3) To study a new way of expressing gratitude in Thai society. It is a qualitative research and applied in the field by interviewing 12 key informants Then, the information obtained from the interview was analyzed, tested, and summarized.

The research study found that (1) Gratitude means knowing the kindness that others have done. It is considered a virtue of goodness or an important foundation of human beings because humans must always have relationships or are related to others. Human life can survive because they are supported and cared for by benefactors such as parents, teachers, relatives, etc. In terms of the mind, humans are instilled with morality in the value of the mind from other people, such as parents, etc. Therefore, humans have morality and good attitudes to create benefits for themselves and the community, which is considered an important principle for living a prosperous and progressive life. Gratitude is an important component of humanity. (2) The old way of expressing gratitude in Thai society has the same form of expressing gratitude as in Buddhism. This is because all human beings live together in a society where they must depend on each other. Therefore, human beings must know how to be grateful and think of repaying the kindness of those who have done them favors, such as parents, teachers, relatives, national institutions, religions, kings, as well as helping society as a whole with kindness and compassion. Doing so will bring happiness, prosperity, and auspiciousness to one's life. (3) The new way of expressing gratitude in Thai society involves adapting traditional expressions of gratitude to fit the digital age, aligning with the rapid changes of the modern world. Today, gratitude can be expressed in more diverse ways than in the past, thanks to the power of social media, which has a significant influence on our daily lives.The Buddhist principle of gratitude remains a timeless value worth preserving, but the methods of expressing it can be adjusted to suit contemporary times. This includes utilizing technology and innovations such as computers, smartphones, the internet, and various applications to facilitate communication, work, and transactions. Examples include online shopping platforms like Lazada and Shopee, as well as automated services. These modern tools enable people to stay connected to the globalized world while maintaining and expressing the core values of gratitude in ways that resonate with modern society.

An Analytical Study of the Value of Mettã in the Suvanฺnฺasãma Jãtaka

2024-12-04T06:26:23+07:00

In this research, three objectives were purposely made: 1) to study mettã pãramĩ (the perfections of loving-kindness) in Buddhist scriptures, 2) to study the cultivation of mettã pãramĩ in the Suvanฺnฺasãma Jãtaka, and 3) to analyze the value of mettã in the Suvanฺnฺasãma Jãtaka. The study employed a documentary research method done by examining Buddhist scriptures and then the descriptive analysis was made accordingly.

The study found that mettã in Buddhist scriptures basically refers to loving-kindness, friendliness, and goodwill towards others and all sentient beings for happiness and prosperity. The development of mettã involves avoiding unwholesomeness and promoting wholesomeness to benefit practitioners and acquire enlightenment knowledge (bodhiñana). This enlightenment knowledge is divided into three levels: (1) the cultivation of mettã pãramĩ referring to the dedication of one’s wealth and servants, (2) the cultivation of mettã upapãramĩ referring to superior perfections by dedicating organs in one’s body, and (3) the cultivation of mettã paramatthapãramĩ referring to supreme perfections by devoting one’s life. Those who practice loving-kindness receive the following benefits: (1) peaceful sleep, (2) joyful awakenings, (3) no nightmares, (4) being loved by all human beings, (5) being beloved by all nonhuman beings, (6) being protected by all deities, (7) being safe from fire, poisons, and weapons, (8) having a concentrated mind, (9) having a bright face, (10) being mindful, and 11) attaining the Brahma world. The cultivation of mettã in the Suvanฺnฺasãma Jãtaka has begun since he was born as Bodhisatta Suvanฺnฺasãma where he recalled that parents were the creator of children, thus he treated them with affection and kindness in order to make their parents happy. Suvanฺnฺasãma still showed his loving-kindness and forgiveness to King Piliyakkha despite being wounded by a poisoned arrow that entered his right body and exited on the left side. Despite pain and blood spurting from his mouth, Suvanฺnฺasãma delivered the stanzas of loving-kindness to the King. In order to cultivate mettã toward animals, the environment, forests, and rivers, one must refrain from taking advantage of them, harming, destroying, and instead must preserve and protect them. According to the Suvanฺnฺasãma Jãtaka, mettã corresponds to value such as modesty, loving-kindness, forgiveness, patience, goodwill, and the cessation of vengeance. All of this will eventually lead to the way, fruition, and Nibbãna.

An Analytical Study of Happiness in Living Life according to the Sukha Sutta

2024-12-04T06:04:52+07:00

In This research, three objectives were purposely made: (1) to study happiness in Buddhist scriptures, (2) to study happiness in the Sukha Sutta, and (3) to analytically study happiness in living according to the Sukha Sutta. This documentary research studies Tipitaka, its commentaries, and related documents.

The results showed that happiness in Buddhism basically means physical and mental happiness, embracing a sense of ease and satisfaction from experiencing desirable and pleasing emotions through the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind. Happiness comprises four levels: (1) kãmã-sukha, (2) jhãnã-sukkha, (3) nirodhasamãpatti-sukha, and (4) Nibbãna-sukkha. Sensual happiness is for ordinary people and is considered inferior. jhãnã-sukkha and nirodhasamãpatti-sukha are superior. Nibbãna-sukkha is the ultimate happiness, surpassing all other forms, embodying peace and utmost refinement. The happiness in the Sukha Sutta can be classified into the five Suttas: (1) Sukha Sutta, (2) Pathama Sukha Sutta, (3) Dutiya Sukha Sutta, (4) Sukapatthanã Sutta, and (5) Sukhasomanassa Sutta. These suttas guide practitioners to attain happiness by relinquishing attachment to sensory experiences, understanding the arising of suffering, taking joy in happiness, upholding moral discipline, associating with good people, and delighting in the six aspects of the Dhamma: 1) the Dhamma, 2) meditation, 3) renunciation, 4) solitude, 5) non-ill will, and 6) non-procrastination. Among these five Suttas, Sukapatthanã Sutta provides worldly happiness for laypeople, while the other Suttas provide supramundane happiness for the ordained. Happiness in living life of laypeople includes financial stability, having an honest profession, having a good reputation, associating with good friends, giving to others, contentment, constantly observing the Five or Eight Precepts, cultivating kindness, and practicing mindfulness through meditation. For the ordained, happiness includes upholding the Dhamma-Vinaya, maintaining restraint in body and speech, engaging in meditation, cultivating mindfulness at all times, living a life of few desires and contentment, realizing the impermanence of all things, letting go of attachment, and training oneself to eradicate defilements to attain Nibbãna. These practices lead to a happy and sustainable life according to the principles of the Sukha Sutta.

Yonisomanasikara: How to Set Our Mind Free from Suffering

2024-12-04T05:40:50+07:00

This article presents the topic "Yoniso Manasikara: How to set our Mind to free from Suffering." Yoniso Manasikara is a factor that leads to wisdom, specifically right understanding, which results in correct insight according to the principles of Vipassana. This means seeing form and mind as they truly are. For example, in terms of bodily postures, there are four types of movement. The principle of Yoniso Manasikara requires one to wisely understand the truth that there is no one standing, walking, sitting, or lying down. There is simply the recognition in the mind that these are merely movements, mere elements working together according to causes and conditions. There is no animal, no person, no self, no individual, no "I," or "you." This follows the principles of Vipassana knowledge, from the Nāmarūpa-pariccheda-ñāṇa into the Sankhārupekkhā-ñāṇa. Ultimately, this leads to the Nirvana, freeing the mind from suffering.

2024-12-23T18:45:57+07:00

This academic article aims to present concepts, theories, and approaches for developing the sign language interpreter profession both in Thailand and internationally. The study found that sign language interpreters play a crucial role as essential facilitators for people with hearing disabilities. Thailand has systematically developed professional standards through the 2021 Sign Language Interpreter Performance Standards, covering five areas: translation and communication of meaning, respecting the dignity and rights of service recipients, self-skill development, being a good role model in the profession, and compliance with relevant regulations. Additionally, professional ethics have been established encompassing responsibilities to oneself, the profession, service recipients, colleagues, and society. However, Thailand still faces a shortage of qualified sign language interpreters. Internationally, the United States is recognized as a leader in professional development through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf, which maintains a robust certification system. Meanwhile, the European Union has established the European Forum of Sign Language Interpreters to promote cooperation among member states, and Australia's National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters oversees professional standards. The future trends in the development of the sign language interpreting profession focus on technology utilization, education system development, and international collaboration.

The Term “Dhammacakkhu”: An Explanation through Ludwig Wittgenstein's Language Games

2024-12-04T06:30:51+07:00

In the Pali Canon, the term dhammacakkhu specifically refers to the sotāpattimagga. However, in the commentaries and subcommentaries, the definition of dhammacakkhu varies. Some sources indicate that it refers to the sotāpattimagga, while others define it as the Three Paths and Three Fruits (magga 3 phala 3) or the Four Paths and Four Fruits (magga 4 phala 4). However, It can be argued that the meaning of dhammacakkhu in Buddhist scriptures is ambiguous and lacks objectivity. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explain the term dhammacakkhu using Ludwig Wittgenstein's of language games to avoid such criticism. The article is divided into two parts:
(1) Wittgenstein's language games and (2) the explanation of the term dhammacakkhu through Wittgenstein's language games. The study collects definitions of dhammacakkhu from the Pali Canon, commentaries, subcommentaries, and Wittgenstein's language games as presented in Philosophical Investigations, and then explains the term dhammacakkhu through Wittgenstein's language games. The study reveals that (1) Meaning in context: Dhammacakku is contextually related to the circumstances and individuals who attain enlightenment. For instance, in the context of a Sotāpanna, it refers to the Sotāpattimagga, whereas in the context of an Arahant, it refers to the Four Paths and Four Fruits (Magga 4 Phala 4). (2) Language as part of life’s activities: The use of the term Dhammacakku reflects the practice of Dhamma and the attainment of enlightenment at different levels. (3) Family resemblance: Dhammacakku shares a similar meaning in terms of enlightenment but differs in the levels of defilement eradication (kilesa). (4) Rule-following: Dhammacakku refers to the ability to see the Dhamma or the realization of the Dhamma. The Dhammacakku does not arise from philosophical thinking alone but is the result of the practice of Dhamma. Furthermore, Interpreting Dhammacakku requires considering its contextual usage. For instance, in one context, Dhammacakku may refer to the Sotāpattimagga, while in another context, it may refer to the Three Paths and Three Fruits (Magga 3 Phala 3).

The Interpretation of ‘Temporary Nibbana’ from the teachings of Buddhadasa Bhikkhu

2025-01-08T09:32:15+07:00

This article aims to investigate the interpretation of “temporary Nibbana” as conceptualized by Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, in comparison with the traditional Buddhist
explanation of Nibbana as described in the Tipitaka and its commentaries. The findings
reveal that Nibbana, in its orthodox Buddhist sense, signifies the complete cessation of
defilements, attainable solely through lokuttara-dhamma (supramundane realization), and is recognized as the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice. In contrast, BuddhadasaBhikkhu’s “temporary Nibbana” proposes that even ordinary practitioners (puthujjana) can momentarily experience Nibbana during states when the mind is temporarily free from defilements. This interpretation reflects an idiomatic approach to the communication of dhamma, facilitating a broader understanding and making the concept of Nibbana more approachable and relevant in modern contexts. Additionally, “temporary Nibbana” aligns with the notion of nirodha in the Tipitaka, particularly vikkhambhana-nirodha (cessation by suppression) and tadanga-nirodha (momentary cessation). These states represent the temporary suppression of defilements, achievable
within mundane practice, albeit not equivalent to ultimate Nibbana. The article under-scores that Buddhadasa Bhikkhu’s interpretation seeks to make Buddhist teachings more accessible and meaningful to daily life, offering lay practitioners an opportunity to experience the tranquility of Nibbana even in transient moments during their practice.

The Concept of Language and the Pursuit of Knowledge in Perspective of Buddhist Philosophy

2025-01-25T14:36:14+07:00

In Buddhist philosophy, the concept of language and the pursuit of knowledge are grounded in the direct experience perceived through the senses. Language serves as a means of expressing or communicating our experiences, guiding us toward true knowledge. This knowledge must convey truth and undergo verification to gain acceptance, allowing it to be practically applied for genuine well-being. The approach outlined in the Kalama Sutta exemplifies this process of knowledge validation, where one is encouraged to perceive and investigate through personal experience, applying yonisomanasikara, a method of critical reflection and synthesis. This approach ensures confidence in knowledge as true understanding according to Buddhist philosophy.
